Princess 1.8 meters

It was bitterly cold.

The little snow in Beijing rests and falls, and it's almost February and it hasn't stopped. It seems that it must fall until the beginning of spring.The snow on the glazed tiles has just melted and then covered again, over and over again.

Liu Yu waited outside the Meridian Gate for a long time, but the normally expressionless person frowned slightly at this moment, looking at the high snow-covered wall in the distance, with a worried look on his face.

After dazed for a while, when he came back to his senses, the person he was waiting for had already come out, as bright as the moon, but at this moment, it seemed to be surrounded by dark clouds, and he looked as if he had encountered some catastrophe, and the whole person was listless .

The young man's fair and handsome face looked sleepy, and his gentle eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he could fall asleep immediately with a quilt.

Liu Yu's heart was calm, and he went forward to salute, carefully watched the person walking steadily from the ground covered with thin ice, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and silently opened the curtain of the carriage behind him.

Seeing people going up, Liu Yu quietly set up the carriage, without saying a word during the whole process.In the past, no matter how bad he was, he would say a few words, probably because he felt a little strange, and after a while, a gentle voice came from inside: "Liu Yu, what happened today?"

Liu Yu opened his mouth, he seldom hesitated, but now he hesitated for a long time before whispering: "No."

Shen Zhi said "um" noncommittally, with a rising ending and a nasal sound, obviously he didn't believe it, but he didn't want to force Liu Yu to say it.

Shen Zhi being so reasonable made Liu Yu even more uneasy.He glanced into the distance, finally swallowed his words, and drove the carriage in silence.

Back at the mansion, Shen Weifeng hadn't come back yet, Shen Zhi changed his clothes, stayed in the study for a while, feeling a little upset for no reason, so he simply moved the stove to the front of the house, and sat in front of the house to make tea.

Liu Yu looked at his back, turned around and found a big cloak to put on him.

Shen Zhi paused, turned his head, and suddenly smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, like a crescent moon in the sky, gentle and beautiful, making people feel itchy.He hooked the corner of his lips and said softly: "Thank you."

This person was very attractive when he laughed, but he didn't know it, Liu Yu lost his mind for a moment, and was about to retreat, Shen Zhi suddenly pointed to the soft cushion beside him, and said with a smile: "Sit with me for a while."

Liu Yu was silent for a moment, looking at his smile, she couldn't think of refusing, so she sat down silently.

Shen Zhi looked at the yard, unconsciously stared blankly for a while, and then asked: "Liu Yu, how old are you this year?"

Liu Yu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "It should be... eighteen."

Shen Zhi said: "If in the future..." After a pause, he shook his head as if thinking of something, "Sorry."

After a moment of silence, Shen Zhi picked up the small pot with boiling water inside, skillfully brewed tea, pushed a cup to Liu Yu, thought for a while, and asked, "Apart from Fei Qing, do you have any relatives?"

Liu Yu's eyes were light, but it seemed that no light could be projected in, and it was so silent that it was a bit dead.His back was tense and he didn't answer. He raised the teacup cautiously, and his hands trembled from the heat, but he didn't put it down.

Shen Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he quickly asked him to put it down, opened his hand and looked at the red mark on it, thought for a moment, then turned around and grabbed a handful of snow from the yard, and handed it to Liu Yu with a smile.

This degree of burning is really nothing, it seems better than nothing, Liu Yu wanted to say no, but looking at the snow-white and slender hand stretched out in front of him, he felt that the texture was delicate, and it was more beautiful than Xue.

He swallowed halfway through the words, the burning sensation in his palm seemed to be magnified countless times in an instant, the pain was unbearable, Liu Yu took the ball of snow and thanked him in a low voice.

Shen Zhi didn't sit down, he walked back and forth in the corridor for a while, looked at the row of ice hooks on the eaves, suddenly ran to find a long bamboo pole, stretched it to the ice hook, and walked from the corridor a little childishly. One side walks briskly to the other.Wherever they passed, the ice hooks shattered into pieces and fell one after another with a crisp sound.

There was a little smile in Liu Yu's usually emotionless pale eyes, and it disappeared very quickly.

It was only on a whim that Shen Zhi harvested a row of ice hooks, and felt a little tired again. The drowsiness that had been blown away by sitting in front of the house just now returned, and he was very sleepy.

He threw the bamboo pole, leaned against the pillar, and stared into the distance, a little absent-minded.

It's been a year.

People who haven't even seen each other for the last time, why haven't they come back.

He was wandering in the sky, when he suddenly heard Liu Yu's voice, which was very low, as if he was muttering to himself, afraid that someone would hear: "...no more."

Shen Zhi was taken aback, and turned to look at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was holding the ball of snow, and his hands were covered with water when it melted, but he didn't care, and lowered his head: "...there was a famine, and my parents left me and Fei Qing with the last ration of food."

Shen Zhi put away his indecent smile, sat down and looked at Liu Yu quietly.

Liu Yu continued: "Uncle, we were exchanged with the same family, and Fei Qing and I have also heard about such things as changing children and eating."

He spoke intermittently, and he didn't care whether Shen Zhi could understand or not: "They want to move me first... Fei Qing was stabbed in the back to protect me, and he killed the whole family like crazy. , and then took me to escape there. Fei Qing was bleeding, it was winter, it was very cold, he was dying, and then...we met the Empress and Her Highness."

Shen Zhi was silent, looking carefully at Liu Yu's face, it was still a little immature.His heart was astringent, and for the first time he felt that speaking was useless.

After being quiet for a while, Liu Yu tentatively touched the cup of tea, lifted it up and drank it, stood up and bent over Shen Zhi, ready to return to her seat.

Shen Zhi panicked in his heart, but before he left he said: "Sorry."

Liu Yu lowered her head, couldn't see her expression clearly, she bowed her hands and backed away.

Shen Zhi stared at the teacup for a while, looking at the sinking and floating tea leaves in it, leaned against the door for a while, and closed his eyes slightly.

The experience of a year has turned around, and I don’t feel anything when I live at a leisurely pace, but when I think about it carefully, it looks like there is no end.

Drowsiness struck again, half asleep and half awake, Shen Zhi seemed to hear light footsteps, and walked in front of him.He was stuck in the quagmire of drowsiness, it was a physical problem, he couldn't open his eyes no matter what, he just felt that someone was carefully hugging him.

He pinched the man's sleeve in a panic, and muttered in a low voice: "Why haven't you come back..."

The man put him on the bed and wanted to pull back his sleeves.

Shen Zhi was unconscious, but squeezed even tighter, his voice soft, a bit coquettish and nasal: "Jiang Heng..."

The man paused, and the movement of pulling his sleeves became even bigger.

Shen Zhi's last sliver of consciousness made him tightly clenched the sleeves in his hands and wouldn't let go.

The two faced each other in silence for a while, Shen Zhi fulfilled his wish and fell asleep holding that piece of sleeve.

When Shen Zhi woke up again, he had a headache.

You can't tell Shen Shangshu about the wind blowing, otherwise you will be scolded again.

After a while, he realized that he was holding something in his hand. He picked it up and saw that it was a small piece of cloth, which seemed to be torn from the clothes.

With a bad guess in his mind, Shen Zhi cleared his throat, sat up and called out: "Liu Yu."

Liu Yu was standing outside the door, and when he heard the sound, he pushed the door open and entered. The clothes on his body were intact, and he didn't see any damage.

Shen Zhi let out a light snort.

Weird.

The doubt did not disappear until the next day when he went to the Yamen, Shen Zhi felt that this was a bit strange.

If he accidentally mistook Liu Yu for Jiang Heng and tore off a piece of cloth, Liu Yu wouldn't have changed into exactly the same clothes.

Who else could it be?

After pondering and pondering, there is no accurate guess.Shen Zhi sighed, straightened his robes, and walked into the office of the household department.

It just so happened that a principal also came, saw him, and greeted him with a smile: "Shen Shilang, so early?"

Shen Zhi returned the gift with a slight smile.

After Chunwei last year, he was lucky enough to pass Tanhua in the palace examination, and not long after entering the Hanlin Academy, he was promoted to the position of Minister of the Household Department.

The household department has undergone a major cleansing, and the remaining people are sparsely populated, which looks really shabby.It's just that the Ministry of Accounting is too important, and the people who make up for it are senior officials, and other Scholars have no chance to enter, unlike Shen Zhi, who directly became the second in command of the Ministry of Accounting.

Of course, everyone thought that he was able to replace him because of Shen Dashangshu, and there was a lot of discussion in private, thinking that Shen Jiarong favored him too much.

This head is the most secretive tongue-twister in the household department, and was unfortunately bumped into by Shen Zhi twice.Considering that although what the other party said was exaggerated, it was somewhat reasonable, so I took care of everyone's face and pretended not to hear it.

Anyway, he didn't care what the unexpected person said, besides, he was able to make up for it, and it was indeed thanks to Shen Dashangshu.However, Shen Shangshu did not show favoritism, nor did he advise the emperor, it was all decided by His Majesty.

Shen Zhi felt that he did not have the talent to manage the world, and hadn't shown his brilliance yet, His Majesty brought him up, most likely because his father was Shen Weifeng.

He didn't feel much uneasy in his heart, his background was an advantage, if he really wanted to help Jiang Heng, he would have a lot of things to do in the future, let alone such things.

The household department is in charge of household registration and finance, and is busy with affairs. As soon as Shen Zhi got busy, he didn't have the time to think about anything else. After a day of busy work, he was already a little dizzy, and he settled the paperwork lazily, as usual He left with a look of death on his face.

Liu Yu waited as always, and when she saw Shen Zhi coming, she bent over and asked him to get into the carriage.

Shen Zhi was wearing a crimson uniform, his face was rosy, he smiled at Liu Yu, and suddenly said as if talking to himself: "I haven't heard from Jiang Heng for a long time."

Liu Yu's hand holding the rein tightened suddenly, and after a while, he slowed down his breathing and maintained his usual tone: "Your Highness should be busy with the war, Mr. Shen, please rest assured."

Shen Zhi propped his chin, without making a sound.

He felt a little apprehensive.

In fact, since half a month ago, he has often dreamed of the scene where Jiang Heng was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse. Every time he woke up, he felt as if this had really happened. Anxiety accumulated in his heart, and he doubted whether he would Unable to restrain himself, he single-handedly rushed to find Jiang Heng as before.

But there was no news.

The more Shen Zhi thought about it, the more flustered he became. After returning to the mansion, he found Shen Weifeng, frowned and asked, "Father, there's really no news from the south?"

Shen Weifeng's hair seemed to be turning white again, and he said coldly, "No."

Shen Zhi squinted his eyes: "You didn't lie to your son?"

Shen Weifeng looked up at him with a stern face: "What are you doing lying to you, I will tell you when that kid dies in battle."

Shen Zhi: "..."

Shen Zhi said: "Then you should not have any news."

He went back to the study a little depressed, after reading for a while, he felt a little drowsy again.

I dreamed of the endless battlefield again.

Thousands of troops were fighting fiercely, and the cunning southern barbarians wielded strange weapons. Shen Zhi saw the bloody Jiang Heng at a glance.His eyes lit up, and before he had time to be pleasantly surprised, he saw an arrow flying towards Jiang Heng's chest with great force, instantly sinking into Jiang Heng's chest.

He saw Jiang Heng coughing blood and falling to the ground.

Countless iron riders ran over his body mercilessly.

The terrifying scene seemed extremely real, Shen Zhi couldn't even utter a sound, his whole body was chilled, he woke up suddenly with a jerk, and straightened up all of a sudden.

Liu Yu, who was about to put a cloak on him, was taken aback, took two steps back, and seeing that Shen Zhi was not moving, she put the cloak on him.

Shen Zhi was still shivering slightly, as if he was extremely cold.

Liu Yu was a little worried: "Young Master Shen?"

Shen Zhi didn't look back, and spoke with a difficult voice: "Liu Yu, I dreamed that Jiang Heng was shot with an arrow..."

Liu Yu firmly said: "No."

Shen Zhi was silent for a moment, then looked back at him with a pale face: "...Really?"

Liu Yu looked at him directly, as if she was looking at herself, but also at Shen Zhi, and said affirmatively, "Really."
